THANK YOU

I would like to Thank the Firefighters, Police, City workers, Building Inspectors and all the neighbors,
friends and strangers that came to help us out in a very bad situation!

I tried to do my best putting out the fire and stop it from spreading before the Fire Depts. arrived.

That's why I got a bit of smoke inhalation,  I tried to stop the fire that started above a drop cieling in my kitchen area
and spread very quikley. Of course I lost just about everything I owned, but I escaped with my life. 

Thank you to Patrolman Lessig, who was first on the scene and made me leave before I got anymore smoke in my lungs, but it's hard to walk away,from everything you worked for all your life.

Some Good News today after a few friends stopped by to help look for my cat, Ed Anyzek kicked a cabinet area where I thought my cat may have been hiding, he heard a meow, and she survived all of the smoke, fire and water!

And to put any rumors to rest I did not have any type of insurance on the building or my belongings.

Too stressed to type anymore, but THANK YOU to GOD &  EVERYONE!
